My mother and I do not get along very well, it's not just with me, she does not get along with all her kids. I have not liked my Mom for many years.
So, here lately, I find myself acting like my Mom, at least I think I am in some way.
Like her undesirable traits are in me and creeping out.
Were they always there? Have I always been like her and was in denial?
Am I feeling guilty for not liking her?
It's really weird. If no chick feels this way, I am headed to therapy.

You're not alone Purps.

GAWD I hate that!!! Every once in a while, my kids say "Ok gramma", meaning I am acting like my mom. I see it in myself too. I am trying hard to resist. Don't like it.
Perhaps your dislike of your mother is a transferred dislike of yourself?
Well, I surely do not like myself when I do things I dislike in my mother.
Yeah, my hubby calls me by my mother's name sometimes. Then I call him by his mother's name (he was only raised by his mother). Then I say "Your mother" and he in turns says "Your mother" and we both laugh cuz both our mothers can be such bitches (well his more than mine ).

Purps, listen not to Doe. We are cool, our mothers much less so.
I'm curious, does it bother you because you want to have your own independent identity and seeing some of your mother in yourself threatens that?
I loved my mother, but I didn't like her.
I don't like men, either.

For me, no. My mom can be............hmmm someone I do not want to be.
